Figure 1 Preoperative radiologic investigations. A, Computed tomographic coronary angiogram shows marked dilatation of the ascending and arch aorta and very high take off of the left main coronary artery (arrow). B, Computed tomographic coronary angiogram showing severe stenosis of the proximal left main coronary artery because of an acute angled course (arrowhead). C, Computed tomographic coronary angiogram showing the ostium of the artery (arrow), approximately 42 mm above the aortic valve.
